Makeup primer is an essential product could completely transform the way your makeup sits, but getting it wrong can be catastrophic! These are my top seven favourite primers that proved to be great choices. Give them a try!
1. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer To Go…

Price: $16 at sephora.com
This is a brilliant product. Whatever condition your skin is in, it blends perfectly to create a silky smooth base for your make up. It even fills in fine lines and wrinkles. The original is perfect, but you can also get it in green (to minimize redness), apricot (to conceal bags under eyes, veins, etc) and bronze (to suit a summer tan). If you haven’t tried this, invest in it now!


Its like you read my mind!!! I was just thinking of buying a primer, but I didn’t know which one to buy because I have never used one before…but your post definately enlightened me! thank you much, I’m going for the “smashbox” primer, can’t wait!
Hi Kati! I’m currently using the Makeup Base Primer from Make Up Forever and I have to say that it’s great. I even like to use it instead of my face cream. My complexion is oily but with this primer the oil is under control and even my foundation (which is liquid and I know is not recommended for an oily skin type) stays perfect for hours. My face feels smooth within seconds. I also tried Lancome La Base Pro primer and it’s wonderful.
I use Thatgal by Benefit and Perfect Touch (i think) by Clarins.
They’re alright, make my makeup stay a bit longer, but nothing amazing.
I’ll try these next time I go to sephora! Thanks
I only believe in SheerCoverproducts as they are really good for pores and our skin!
I always want to try Laura Geller’s. But now, you’ve put it in your list. I want to try it more and more. Yay!
